In case you didn’t know, we have started posting Rfalconcam news to Bluesky! It is ad-free and free to use. Have you set up your account yet?

As we approach fledge watching, you may want to follow individual watchers on Bluesky for updates in real time! This is the primary method our on-the-ground watchers will use to communicate with each other.

We have created a Bluesky Starter pack of these watchers’ accounts. Go to https://go.bsky.app/QajAmL4 and select all the watchers or choose individuals you want to follow.

Bluesky does not currently offer direct post notifications. If you want Bluesky notifications of watcher posts we suggest the BlueNotify app. Once you download and log into BlueNotify, click on Edit Notifications and select the accounts from there.

Of course, you are not required to follow the fledge-watch action on Bluesky. As always, all Rfalconcam and watcher posts will cross-post to our main website. You can follow along there on the Rfalconcam forum topic Falcon Watches: Bluesky 2025 https://rfalconcam.com/forum/index.php?topic=19462.0
Or on our streaming chat https://rfalconcam.com/rfc-main/streamView.php

What about X?

While Bluesky is now our primary method for posting fledge-watch news, you will still see posts on X from our main Rfalconcam account while individual watchers have the option to post on X if they wish, but you may miss some posts when things are happening quickly. Dropping X as the primary method is the result of X raising the price of its API, which we use to cross-post to our website. We can no longer justify the expense. Bluesky’s API, on the other hand, is free.

Keep your eyes to the sky!
